LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
t a r y c r o s s i n g o f l o n g i t u d i n a l t r a f fi c
lane markings on the ground (solid
o r b r o k e n l i n e ) .
S e n s o r s , fi t t e d b e l o w t h e f r o n t b u m -
per, trigger a warning if the vehicle
drifts over a lane marking (speed
h i g h e r t h a n 5 0 m p h ( 8 0 k m / h ) ) .
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads. Activation
Press button A , the indicator
lamp comes on.
Deactivation
Press button A again, the indica-
tor lamp switches off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the mark- ing on the ground has been
crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a
d i r e c t i o n m a r k i n g ( e . g . a r r o w ) o r
n o n - s t a n d a r d m a r k i n g ( e . g . g r a f fi t i )
is crossed. Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
screen.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver. The detection may be impeded:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
s n o w . . . ) ,
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

PARKING SENSORS
This system indicates the proximity
of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
g a t e , e t c . ) w h i c h c o m e s w i t h i n t h e
fi e l d o f d e t e c t i o n o f s e n s o r s l o c a t e d
in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake,
r o a d w o r k s c o n e , e t c . ) d e t e c t e d i n i -
tially will no longer be detected at
the end of the manoeuvre due to the
presence of blind spots. Visual assistance
This supplements the audible sig-
nal by displaying segments on the
multifunction screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the sym-
bol "Danger" is also displayed on the
screen.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by
a discontinuous audible signal, the
frequency of which increases as the
vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker
( r i g h t o r l e f t ) i n d i c a t e s t h e s i d e o n
which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle becomes
less than approximately thirty centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
This function cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the vigi-
lance and responsibility of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by en-
gaging reverse gear. This is accom-
panied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you
exit reverse gear.

Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sen-
sors, the front parking sensors are
triggered when an obstacle is de-
tected in front and the speed of the
v e h i c l e i s s t i l l b e l o w 6 m p h ( 1 0 k m / h ) .
The sound emitted by the speaker
( f r o n t o r r e a r ) i n d i c a t e s w h e t h e r t h e
obstacle is in front or behind.
The front parking sensors are inter-
rupted if the vehicle stops for more
than three seconds in forward gear,
if no further obstacles are detected
or when the speed of the vehicle ex-
c e e d s 6 m p h ( 1 0 k m / h ) . Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by press-
ing this button. The indicator lamp
on the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reacti-
vates the function. The indicator
lamp on the button switches off.
The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed

If an operating fault occurs,
when reverse gear is en-
gaged this warning lamp is
displayed on the instrument
panel and/or a message appears on
the screen, accompanied by an au-
d i b l e s i g n a l ( s h o r t b l e e p ) .
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
s i g n a l ( l o n g b l e e p ) i n d i c a t e s t h a t
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a
s p e e d b e l o w 6 m p h ( 1 0 k m / h ) , c e r -
tain sound sources (motorcycle, lor-
r y , p n e u m a t i c d r i l l , e t c . ) m a y t r i g g e r
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION
Grand
C4 Picasso
C4 Picasso
The rear pneumatic suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load. Operation
- If there is an increase in vehicle
load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
p n e u m a t i c s p r i n g s i n fl a t e i n o r -
der to compensate for the extra
weight.
- If there is a decrease in load, a rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
s p r i n g s d e fl a t e t o r e t u r n t h e v e -
hicle to its nominal height.
- If the vehicle has been unused for a long period, the pneumatic
s p r i n g s m a y i n fl a t e i f n e c e s s a r y

so as to return the vehicle to its
nominal height.
If you do not reactivate the system
manually, automatic height correc-
tion will be activated as soon as the
vehicle starts to move. During height
correction, the service warning lamp
comes on and a message on the
screen reminds you not to exceed

ciation with the service warning
lamp, will appear in the instru-
ment panel . Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
You must deactivate the system in
the following circumstances:
- when working under the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when transporting the vehicle on
a lorry or ferry
To reactivate automatic height cor-
rection:

height, automatic correction will
activate as soon as the vehicle
starts to move. During the cor-
rection, the service warning
lamp comes on and a message
on the screen reminds you not to
e x c e e d 6 m p h ( 1 0 k m / h ) .
